I have met photographers get obsessed with narrow dof. Some use very fat lenses or fast lenses, and some use very long and big telephoto lenses. I see photographers with telephoto lenses stand really far away from the model maybe about 50ft. I have met a photographer who has more experiences than I do and respect another photographer who shoot very shallow dof and think has very good skill in composition. I understand the clutter background will help blurred out to separate the model and make it pops, and the image more appealing. Maybe if I get a fast lens or telephoto lens, and I should get respect as a skilled photographer. I have been to a lot of events photography, and I know the organizers don't want a very blurried background. They want to see the background, so they can recognize the event and location. On several events that I volunteered photographing the independent film festival, and they want a lot of advertising logos on the walls, bottles, cups, pamphlets, and etc. in the photos as well as guests to promote these companies. I prefer wider dof.
